This fabulous bird was found by Sherry Smith & the Ipswich River
Bird-A-Thon group.
Steve Grinley, Margo Goetschkes, Linda Ferraresso and myself made a
side trip during our day of "Bird-A-Thoning" for Joppa Flats to see it.

A Ruby-throated Hummingbird can be seen in the second photo (rather
blurry and just above the Chuck's lower back).
It flew in to inspect the Chuck-will's-widow and came back twice more during
our visit.
